That warranty disclaimer is put there by lawyers to make him free of stupid people.. microtech pretty much will warranty work anything that happens to your knife... Sometimes if its obvious abuse theyll charge you for a new blade... Microtech is a good company made by a normal dude thats just like us .. knife and gun nerds
They still aren't considered customs cause for one there is no proof the tony sharpened these personally and two even if they have proof, Tony isn't even that big of an icon to consider adding more value to a knife he sharpens...
blendtecBrah I scratched my Apple Watch once taking a bellhousing off a saginaw 3 speed and I’ve never put on a watch while wrenching after that. That scratch drove me nuts, I can’t imagine even the smallest scratch or blemish on watch the price of my freakin car
Imagine if all CEOs could do almost any job in their company to create their products…and in this case substantially better than most employees. We would be a stronger, more efficient and greater superpower than we already are, by a lot!
Anthony is a master at putting an edge on with a contact wheel. He could do the same on a flat platen i'm sure, but with the curve of the wheel he can see the edge better.
You're not supposed to wear gloves while using a grinder or during many machining operations. They might get caught on something, plus your touch sensation is very important when using the grinder. Eye protection should always be worn though.
Anthony Marfione is a gangster....I think he's probably literally the most talented all around knifemaker in the world. There are a lot of talented makers in the world, but Anthony is the equivalent of Tiger Woods in the industry. It's amazing to watch him at work.
@@BurrKing thanks, I got a large one for my bader. But that thing is huge. I'm thinking about throwing into the mix another grinder. Burrking often comes to my mind. One of the local knife makers has one. He said it's a pleasure to grind on. But I like that thing there. It's huge.
mrzisme It only takes one fraction of a second to make a mistake and get maimed no matter your skill lever. In fact, the more comfortable you get the more careless you get in general because of getting too comfortable and cocky. Oftentimes it's the beginners and pros who are most prone to making a mistake and getting hurt.
I have every stone for my wicked edge system but think I could knock at least a hr off sharpening broken too knifes with that wheel anyone e ha e more info on that?
I’ve been using my shop made 2x72 for 15 years and I would never; stand directly in front of the belt, not wear a respirator and not wear safety glasses. Belts can and do explode, things can catch, metal dust is bad on your lungs. Be smarter.
@@jodiehighroller9820 drop your Kershaw tip straight down on a tile floor. Not laminate, not wood, not carpet, tile, and let me know how that works out for your "flawless" knife.
Charlie Foxtrot why would I do something like that??this isn’t forged in fire jack.like I’m just looking for a way to find a flaw in my flawless knife!?!?you do it with that flimsy out the front and see what happens
@@jodiehighroller9820 Oh your getting cocky there, Microtech uses the best premium steel out there. it doesn't what knife you have you drop it hard on a tile floor or concrete you're for sure going to get some damage on the edge or tip of that knife.
No safety goggles, loose long sleeve shirt, loose watch and bracelets? This is a guy who's gotten real lax on his own safety. I think he's forgotten what can wheel that size and speed can do to the human body.
That grinder is not going as fast as you think. He is doing an immediate repair on a knife at the most prestigious knife show in the world. Loosing sales while he is away, the job had to get done and done quick.
If he let go of the knife, the worst thing it could do is put a slice in his shoe. As for the wheel itself, sandpaper won't do too much harm. His watched getting nicked would hurt more than a abrasion cut. If someone shoved him into the wheel, well then there's your problem.
Andrea goss, he means that the guy is wearing things that could get sucked into the wheel. Like his long sleeve, I was concerned about that myself as he was reach over right next to the wheel to operate the power. You never wear long sleeves while operating a lathe and this is the same deal
A lathe has spinning chuck jaws, a rotating leadscrew, handwheels, etc. This is just a big wheel. Although you are correct short sleeves are probably better, I highly doubt the way his sleeves are will pose a problem.
Land lord dropped one of my tanto's on the tip of the concrete floor. Just put a diamond shaped hole in the concrete. Concrete should fear a knife not the other way around.@timmy _
Dropping a heavy knife tip down o to concrete is going to do some damage. Especially to a thinly ground razor edge. I'd bet if I drop my Busse TGLB tip down into concrete, it'll be damaged. You've conflated fantasy and reality. There is no excalibur, just well executed tools utilizing premium materials and refined production methods. They will still break if abused.
Common Anthony we know your a pro at this but put some safety glasses on show example to those bi-standers to be always safe to protect your eyes when grinding any metal.
I like a very stiff blade I can’t stand movement and micro techs are not stiff!for 2 to 3 to 5 hundred bucks these things should be flawless but they aren’t!
My Microtech Halo V is rock fucking solid, it's flawless. I couldn't believe when I got it how stiff and rigid the blade is when it is deployed, absolutely no play.
There is plexiglass wall put up on the far side of the grinder by the walkway, it extends about 4" short of the outer most part of the contact wheel. They were thinking of peoples safety.
I know! It's a wonder he didn't yank out both arms, both legs and put both of his eyes out. Not to mention, endangering the lives of everyone within 150 yards of the building. Where is OSHA when you need them!
Imagine if that was protocol for any dropped knives at a show lmao. “Uhh, Mr. Marfione, we got another one.”
Love or hate him, the man got skills!
mad skills that is!
Like nobody hates him though, the guy is so humble.
@@michaelnemm1316 I am not one of them, but he has an army of people that hate him AND are huge fans of his knives. It is mind boggling
@@pgmallon They just jealous.
@@michaelnemm1316 No doubt. I think it drives them nutz seeing his lavish lifestyle, knowing they financed it. Lol
As close to a "Marfione Custom" that I could ever hope to own!!!
Hands back knife "btw, that voids your warranty".
TheCaptain008 lmao
LOL

That's hilarious
That's the seasoned hand of a true professional
Nothing like watching a master .
Nice to see a master at work. Thanks for the video. Cool grinder too.
Instantly that guy has 2customs!! 😂 if I'm ever near him at a knive show somebody remind me to drop my SOCOM Elite
Lol. You made me laugh. 2 knives will be sold over 1000$ each.
They still aren't considered customs cause for one there is no proof the tony sharpened these personally and two even if they have proof, Tony isn't even that big of an icon to consider adding more value to a knife he sharpens...
Freehand reprofile! Marfione is a legend 🏆
Very cool. Tony has some serious skills. By the way, that grinder is awesome. SAFETY GLASSES!! Lol.
Tony is the American dream personified!
dude is a legend,and super cool down to earth.
Best knife maker an designer in the business.
This guy can say “just the tip” and mean it !
Only guy on the internet who pronounces troodon correctly
While wearing Rolex Daytona.
Came in to post that, was not disappointed. The guy that works on my car does so with a Daytona on lol
It's a nice watch all day. But I don't understand why people wear watches loose like that?
blendtecBrah I scratched my Apple Watch once taking a bellhousing off a saginaw 3 speed and I’ve never put on a watch while wrenching after that. That scratch drove me nuts, I can’t imagine even the smallest scratch or blemish on watch the price of my freakin car
Ain't got time for safety! Its an Emergency!!!
you mean safety as in safety glasses?
Very cool of him to do that.

I am Speechless!!

I wish I could sharpen an edge that easy!
What's a champ! Great guy
I want Tony to sharpen my knife cause the factory guys roll the edge about every time
True legend.
this guy is a total beast
That is insane! I'm still tryna strop free hand lol
Little dude's got THE STROKE. Nice facet on the fly.
the man is an artist
If he was so good it wouldn't have deformed... Nah but he is great with a grinder! :)
The man is a legend
srvctek1
Ohhh Shit that second one is the one I just ordered. It should be here Monday and it’s Friday ! It’s gonna be a long weekend lol
How do you like it so far ?.-..
They have excellent people skills...
Love my Ultratechs
Great job
I have a D.O.C in the same configuration, it's my favorite knife.
master blaster
это самое лучшее видео что я видел в жизни.... талантливый профессионал своего дела....
1:48 freaked me out, those long sleeves are getting real close to that wheel 😬
so what thing did yall do the next year?
This popped up, 10 years wow. Its when this artist had hair.😊
Good guy marfione.
Would you know, if this is how the microtech knives are sharpened at the factory..
Lol brother this is how all knives are factory sharpened. You tell me ONE mainstream manufacturer Not custom that uses a stone to sharpen their knives
Dude all production knives are belt not stoned. Pay $1000+ you get stone
Now that's customer service. Also, what's up with the lack of eye and hand protection???
You're not supposed to wear gloves while using a grinder or during many machining operations. They might get caught on something, plus your touch sensation is very important when using the grinder. Eye protection should always be worn though.
Since when does Wizards need gloves and glasses?
My guess is he's not a little bitch

Get em Tony!!
What would that larger wheel be used for? Flat or hollow?
Provides a real shallow hollow grind. If grinding a blade that was 3/4” tall it would be nearly a flat grind
@@BurrKing thanks, I got a large one for my bader. But that thing is huge. I'm thinking about throwing into the mix another grinder. Burrking often comes to my mind. One of the local knife makers has one. He said it's a pleasure to grind on. But I like that thing there. It's huge.
what brand and model of 120 grit is he using?
We don’t need no stinking safety glasses!
you don't but i do when grinding on any type of metal
Amazing machines.....i must be sad, because its a sci fi for small knife maker in czech republic :D
baggy sleeves near a spinning grinder... smart
- A13X - he’s got his 10,000 hours

@@-a13x-75 his sleeves are rolled up.
But it’s an emergency.
here come the safety chiefs telling people how to live again mind your own shit
That's a cheapskate way to score 2 customs 🤣🤭.. Actually jealous.. You frigging genius 💥👍🏿
true lol
When you love what you do....You will do it for free.Great Video.
Proper!
He looks like he knows knives
I wish he showed the damage before the fix...
I just came here for the safety nanny comments. 😂
Knife is handed back a custom. Comes compete with Marfione DNA.
Seriously...what kind of dumbass drops his new knife right after he buys it at a show? I mean I know shit happens but omg! Good upload!
les lunettes sont ou ???
Man what I wouldn’t give to have one of those “Rolls Royce” belt grinders!🥹
I have every stone for my wicked edge system but think I could knock at least a hr off sharpening broken too knifes with that wheel anyone e ha e more info on that?

A guy dropped his brand new knife and the tip instantly broke right off. Thats impressive. Nice knife

Made in China, sharpened in America.

Children close by. Reach into that and lose an arm. Not wise
wheres the children, i didn't see no children there?
He really is lucky that he hasn't lost an arm, seeing as he's only been doing it for 30 years. 🤣🤣🤣

No safety glasses
I know! It's a wonder he didn't yank out both arms, both legs and put both of his eyes out. Not to mention, endangering the lives of everyone within 150 yards of the building. Where is OSHA when you need them!
